Romeo & Juliet CANCELLED

By William Shakespeare, directed by Owen Horsley.

Shakespeare’s classic story of star-crossed lovers torn apart by bitter rivalry and misplaced honour. Separated by their fathers’ bitter rivalry, Juliet and Romeo experience a first love that is truly forbidden.

In the long hot summer they pray for time to be alone - away from the blistering passions of masculine honour and the vicious cycle of violence brought on by their families’ ongoing feud. In this cruel adult world of pride, envy and greed, youth and innocence have no place, the lovers must take desperate measures to be together.

This modern dress adaptation is Owen Horsley’s directorial debut for the company after three years with Cheek by Jowl.
